.. Nigga of the Month ..




Well, my official Nigga Hero of the Month award goes to none other than the Puddin' Pop Papa, Bill Cosby. The nearly 70 year old comedian/actor has made many contributions to black entertainment. I mean, some of the most popular African American shows were done by Bill. There's Fat Albert and the Junkyard Gang, Nick Jr's Little Bill, and I know ya'll remember the Picture Pages. Then of course there was the long-running sitcom The Bill Cosby Show which still runs on syndication. Mr. Cosby also had hilarious stand-up acts, with amazing stage-presence and jokes that related to everyone in his audience. Now, I think we can all agree that the world is shit, especially in America's black community and if there's anyone who's not afraid to express their opinion on that, it's Bill Cosby. That, ladies and gentleman, makes him a nigga. He has made a few remarks towards low-income blacks. "They think they're hip. They can't read; they can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere," and how black men are, "beating up your women because you can't find a job." Can't say I disagree. Back in 2002, Cosby guest-hosted The Late Show and refused to let any white people on the stage. The man went on a white show and told them to stay offstage. That's some G-shit right there. All in all Bill Cosby has been much more than a nigga. He is an influential and inspiring African American man who I can always call a hero. Now, time for some Jell-O!
